bigred Posted April 29, 2005 Posted April 29, 2005 Once again it's that time of year. time to donate 2 rigs for a charity auction. these prices are only what is considered "fair" value. both systems are identical.

bigred Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 ill give u 1500 right now 470274[/snapback] well they're not actually being "sold" per say. they're both being donated to my daughter's school for an auction. this auction helps pay for most of the student's tuition... so it's kinda like paying her tuition in computers... wait I already did that oh well it's for a good cause and it's a good tax write off.

E Fudd Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 (edited) How do we bid ? maybe you could be our Broker Edited April 30, 2005 by E Fudd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leldorion Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 $2500 should be about right....I didn't include the software package so you might want to be a bit higher but that sounds right to me from just eyeing the list of hardware. Also, just out of curiousity, how much of a write off does this give you? Or is that what this estimate is for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 the estimate goes into the program for the auction. that way they can associate a value with the item... and set a starting price. no I can't broker anything... I'd look like a total fool buying them back my write off will be what my recipt price for this stuff is. keeping in mind that I pay wholesale cost of it... not retail list price.

I've been waiting for FalconNW or VoodooPC to come up with a PC like that, but I haven't seen anything that stout from them Awesome PC!! Considering what those companies charge for their PC's, you could probably get $4K for it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
